It would depend on the router. If the router supports it, the easiest
thing is to tell it to give out DHCP addresses in a limited range (say
192.168.0.1 through 192.168.0.100), and then assign a fixed IP address
outside this range (e.g. 192.168.0.101) to the Debian box ('man
interfaces' for details).
Cheers!
